Lunt is one of many players to emerge from the Crewe Alexandra Academy - alongside Dean Ashton, Rob Hulse and Danny Murphy - nurtured by manager Dario Gradi.
Lunt has completed more than seven years of first team football, and was previously club captain at Crewe (replacing David Brammer, sold to Stoke City on a free transfer) - a role he shared with Steve Foster.
During Crewe's 2002-03 season in the Football League Second Division Lunt headed the rankings of goal assists. He is also adept at free-kicks from distance, scoring several spectacular goals from outside the penalty box. During his time at Crewe, Lunt racked up over 400 appearances for the club.
Like other Crewe players, Lunt attracted attention from other clubs, including Leeds United, Reading and some Premiership clubs.
In May 2006, Sheffield Wednesday beat competition from several other Championship clubs to sign Lunt on a Free Transfer, offering him a three year deal[1]. Lunt made his debut for the Owls in their 1-0 defeat to Luton Town.
It was reported in October that Lunt was on his way out of the club after not being in Paul Sturrock's plans and a loan move to Stoke was in the offing, But Under Brian Laws Lunt has played a more major role, as the invisable man in the midfield.
